Does Failing to Sign After Passing the Written Test (Subject 1) Invalidate the Exam?

[Tanner]

As long as the Subject 1 exam is passed, the system will automatically record the candidate's success. However, it is necessary to apply for a supplementary signature promptly. If the candidate does not sign to confirm after passing the driver's license Subject 1 exam, the score will not be canceled, but it may affect the issuance of the driver's license. Article 46 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates: The score sheet for each subject must be signed by the applicant and the examiner. Without signatures, the motor vehicle driver's license cannot be issued. It is best to sign and confirm after the exam to avoid any impact on the driver's license. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical exam or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Standards". Subject 1 Exam Content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basic knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Below are the precautions for the Subject 1 exam: Candidates must enter the examination room with their ID card and admission ticket to participate in the exam. Generally, driving schools will distribute the admission ticket before the exam. Students should bring their ID cards to avoid any lack of necessary documents during the exam. Before the exam, the relevant staff will input the candidate's information into the computer. After entering the examination room, candidates should find their assigned seat, check their information, and begin the exam once the information is confirmed to be correct. After the exam, click "Submit". If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the exam, ending the test. Follow the staff's arrangements and collect your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the exam area; No loud noise is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the exam room (or must be placed in a bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room; Candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exam exit before leaving; Candidates who fail the exam can leave the exam room and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time. Subject 1 Exam Tips: Answers prioritizing basic safety are correct. Answers prohibiting drivers from doing something are generally correct (should not, cannot, must not, prohibited, strictly prohibited); Answers involving yielding are correct (stop and yield, slow down and yield, give way, pull over and slow down to avoid); Answers involving slow passage are correct (pass slowly, decelerate, pass at a slow speed, steady, reduce speed); Answers involving observation are correct (slow down and observe, look left and right, stop and observe, proceed after looking); Answers confirming safety are correct (ensure safety, pass safely, confirm safety, lightly press the brake pedal); Answers with overly aggressive or extreme keywords are wrong. Answers with arbitrary decisions are wrong (as long as, only, just need, is enough); Answers involving quick passage are wrong (accelerate through, turn the wheel sharply, jerk the wheel).

I experienced the awkward situation of forgetting to sign after the subject one exam. I passed the test but didn't sign, and the examiner reminded me. If I really hadn't signed, the score might have been invalidated, requiring a retake. Signing is to confirm identity and verify the score is correct, which is a crucial step in the exam rules. If missed, you should contact the test center or driving school as soon as possible to inquire about the possibility of a late signature, but many places don't accept it, meaning you'd have to re-register and retake the exam. This wastes time and effort and delays the driving learning progress. I recommend everyone not to rush to leave after the exam but calmly check all procedures, especially the signing step. Such a small matter may seem unimportant, but it affects the entire process of obtaining a driver's license, so you must not take it lightly.
